WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) today spoke on the Senate floor about the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS’s) poor reputation for customer service and its mishandling of Americans’ private information. Thune also discussed his IRS Funding Accountability Act, legislation that would give Congress a direct say in how the unprecedented $80 billion in new IRS funding could be spent, hold the IRS more accountable, and provide greater transparency to taxpayers.
